Texas tops preseason look at recruiting rankings

VOTE: Which team will finish at No. 1?

As the college and high school football seasons approach, recruiting fans look forward to this time of year for an additional reason: team rankings. The first edition of the Rivals.com 2011 team rankings is set for release next week, but we have a sneak peek for the diehards. Mack Brown and his Texas Longhorns have the most commitments of anyone in the Top 20, but does that mean they are No. 1? Has Alabama, LSU or another traditional heavyweight pushed to the top?

Rivals.com will release its Top 50 schools next week and the pecking order certainly can shift with seven days of commitments to be had. However, as of the middle of this week, here is your Top 25 in order with each school's top commitments and top remaining targets.
